Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021087869A1] A blade load mechanism (200) for a blade holder (100) of a microtome. The blade holder (100) has a base (110) defining a blade receptacle (112) configured to receive a blade (900), the blade load mechanism (200) includes a blade supply container (210) configured to contain a blade (900) therein, the blade supply container (210) defining a removal opening (212) through which the blade (900) is able to be removed from the blade supply container (210), and a blade access slot (214) through an outer wall of the blade supply container (210) in a length direction of the blade (900); and a blade pusher (220) configured to engage with the blade (900) through the blade access slot (214) and slide along the blade access slot (214) to push the blade (900) out of the blade supply container (210) through the removal opening (212), and deliver the blade (900) into the blade receptacle (112). A blade changing system (1000) includes a blade load mechanism (200) and a blade unload mechanism (300).
